Elvis Presley Heights Museum

Tupelo has another Elvis museum: the Elvis Presley Heights Museum which is located at 100 Briar Ridge Rd. For $10 you can see:
Time Line of Life, Science, Geography, Tupelo History, Mississippi History, World History, "rare", Elvis Presley Memorabilia, Elvis' Karate Medallion Necklace, and etc., and local art from N.E. Mississippi Art Society. Includes over 700 items: It takes from 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hour to tour.

This is a local museum, including an Elvis section, in an area now known as "Elvis Presley Heights"; not specifically an Elvis Presley Museum! $10.00 is a bit steep! Tupelo is losing a lot of its Elvis connections – The fairground, most of the houses – The pink & black one at 1010 North Green St, on the edge of Shakerag, (itself long gone) now also seems to have disappeared. I hope this new museum doesn't get put on the "Tour Bus" route, just so the travel company has somewhere to bus the fans. (The car museum in Tupelo also comes to mind; it's got very little to do with Elvis & if I want to see a car museum I'll go to Beaulieu!) Yours, ripped off too often!
